This Website Acceptable Use Policy is designed for use alongside the main
terms of use (terms and conditions) of your website.
An Acceptable Use Policy sets out rules and standards for users of your
website to follow when using your site. The content standards are
particularly important. This section of the document lists the types of
content that are unacceptable. This includes content that is unlawful,
defamatory, discriminatory, offensive, and submitted in breach of important
duties such as duties of confidence.
This Policy document also specifically sets out the rights of the website
owner or operator in response to a breach. The options available include
suspending or terminating a user’s right to use the website, removing
content uploaded by the user, and cooperating with law enforcement
authorities in cases where a user has engaged in some form of criminal
activity involving the site.
This template cross-refers to the main terms of use of your website and
vice-versa. (note that some terms of use templates do not refer to this
document as they are designed only for basic, non-interactive sites.)
Moreover, it is made clear to users that a breach of the Acceptable Use
Policy also constitutes a breach of the main terms and conditions.
Optional phrases / clauses are enclosed in square brackets. These should be
read carefully and selected so as to be compatible with one another. Unused
options should be removed from the document.
This document is also available in our Website Terms & Conditions
group.
